Title

Conservation and Natural Resources Department, wild animal or birds or bird eggs, permits and fees to collect for scientific or educational purposes, law to apply to wild invertebrate or vertebrate species, fines, Sec. 9-11-231 am'd.

Description

Under existing law, a person is not permitted to collect protected wild animals or birds or bird eggs for scientific purposes unless the person has a permit from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. The cost of the permit is $1 and a person who violates this provision is subject to a fine of not less than $10 nor more than $25.

This bill would establish three types of permits for the purposes of protection of wild invertebrate or vertebrate species, or their eggs, would increase the fees, and would provide that the applicable fine would be three times the cost of the appropriate permit.
